Between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter, there is the asteroid belt. This is made up of millions of small rocks that are in a direct orbit around the sun. Most of these objects are boulder sized or smaller, but some are quite large. The largest is a Dwarf planet called Ceres, which is around 975km in diameter. Its the only one in the asteroid belt called a dwarf planet as it it big enough, and has enough gravity, to make itself into a spherical shape.

No it's a rocky planet similar to that of Earth. The first four planets our solar system are terrestrial.
Why are Terrestrial planets closer to the sun then the Jovian planets?
Terrestrial planets are made of denser materials than Jovian planets. The planets were primarily formed from the left over disc of dust that orbited our sun when it first formed. The heavier elements were draw closer to the sun by gravity and the lighter ones flung further outward by their high orbital speed.
Is the 10nth planet a gas planet?
there are 8 planets. The first four are `rocky` terrestrial planets, including the Earth, and the last four are gas giants.
Which are the earth like or the terrestrial planets of the solar system?
There are three terrestrial planets in the solar system orbiting the star Sol. The first terrestrial planet is Venus, the second planet. The second is Earth, which is densely populated. The third is Mars, which was most likely once populated, but has now become a dust bowl.
Is it true that the first mammals appeared on Earth at about the same time as the first terrestrial plants?
No. The first land plants were on the planet 0.475 billion years ago. The first mammals were on the planet around 160 million years.
Which of the eight major planets are called the inner planets?
The first four planets are often lumped together into the category of "inner" or "terrestrial" planets:MercuryVenusEarthMarsThe last four are often lumped together into the category of "outer" or "gas giant" planets:JupiterSaturnUranusNeptuneAll of the dwarf planets are terrestrial. The only dwarf planet that can sometimes be called an "inner planet" is Ceres, which orbits between Mars and Jupiter.
Name the jovian planets?
The four Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.They are all giant gas planets, meaning that they are not only outstandingly giant planets, but also that they are not mainly composed of solid matters such as rock, but of gas!The Romans named the planet Jove/Jupiter, the name of one of their mythological gods. The word Jovian is the adjective form of Jove.And the planet Jove/Jupiter is by far the biggest (or 'god'!) of all the Jovian planets!For more information, see Related links below.
